第27届中西部概率论大会将于2005年10月21-22日在西北大学举行。主讲人罗伯特·阿德勒将就概率论的最新主题进行一系列的两个相连的讲座。两个小时的演讲者是爱丽丝·吉奥内和马雷克·比斯卡普，他们也将就他们最近在概率论方面的研究进行演讲。 预计将有75-100名研究人员参加这个为期两天的会议。中西部概率座谈会是来自大中西部地区的概率学家的定期聚会，同时允许研究生和其他研究人员有机会与类似兴趣的专家进行互动。与过去一样，计划继续最优先重视没有其他支助的人，特别是初级研究人员和代表性不足的群体成员，包括妇女、少数民族和残疾人。

The 27th Midwest Probability will be held at Northwestern University onOctober 21-22, 2005. The Principal Speaker, Robert Adler, will give aseries of two connected lectures on a recent theme of probability theory.The two Hour Speakers are Alice Guionnet and Marek Biskup, who will alsogive talks on their recent researches in probability theory. It is expectedthat 75-100 researchers will participate in this two-day meeting.The Midwest Probability colloquium serves are a regular get-together ofprobabilists from the greater Midwest area, while allowing graduatestudents and other researchers a chance to interact with specialists ofsimilar interests.
